Rap and hip hop icon Nicki Minaj appeared alongside President Donald Trump at the Trump Accounts Summit in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday to pledge hundreds of thousands of dollars toward the administration’s new savings initiative.
The “Super Bass” artist is set to contribute an estimated $150,000 to $300,000 toward the accounts of her fans’ children, with the final figure to be determined by the scale of the rollout.
During the event, the 43-year-old artist declared herself President Trump’s “number one fan” while committing her support to the program, which provides a $1,000 initial investment into savings accounts for American children born between 2025 and 2028.
“I am probably the president’s number one fan, and that’s not going to change,” she asserted. “And the hate or what people have to say, it does not affect me at all. It actually motivates me to support him more.”
During the summit on Wednesday, President Trump invited Minaj to the stage, noting with a smile that the news of her attendance had sparked major excitement from one of his daughters.
“Nicki makes a lot of money and she’s generously stepping up. She’s investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in Trump Accounts to support the children … of her incredible fans. That’s great, focus on that. Why should you give to somebody else’s fans, keep to your fans, I like that!” Trump remarked.
“I’ve been hearing over the years she’s a big Trump supporter, a Trump fan, and she took a little heat on occasion,” he added, praising her as “an unbelievable supporter.”
“I’m [also] going to let my nails grow, because I love those nails,” the president continued, humorously commenting on Minaj’s extremely long manicured nails.
Minaj drew personal inspiration for the pledge from her journey as a mother to her five-year-old son, expressing a desire to provide other parents with the same financial peace of mind.
“I absolutely love my ‘Barbz,’” Minaj told the New York Post, referring to her fanbase. “I want to see them bring healthy and successful children into the world. Becoming a mother was the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me, and I want others to experience the same joy my son has brought into my life.”
“I know raising a child can be expensive and challenging at times, so I’m committed to doing whatever I can to support them,” she added.
All children born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, will be eligible to receive an initial investment of $1,000 from the Treasury Department when opening a Trump retirement account to “jumpstart the American Dream,” according to the official website.
Under the program, parents may contribute up to $5,000 annually until the child turns 18, while employers can provide matching contributions of up to $2,500 per year. Even without private deposits, the account is designed to grow independently. While the funds are typically preserved for the child’s adulthood, the program allows for flexible access when necessary.
According to the official Trump Accounts platform, these accounts mirror the tax advantages of a traditional IRA. The capital is automatically invested in American equities, with a dedicated app providing real-time transparency into specific stock holdings and portfolio performance.
Projections from the administration suggest significant long-term growth: a baseline $1,000 investment — with no further contributions — could grow to approximately $5,800 by age 18, and potentially reach $200,000 by age 55 if left to compound.
